No, there are no legal way to change the language of your Windows. But if you use AnyTime Upgrade in controllpanel you can buy a upgrade to Ultimate that have mui's

there is a legal way. Use the WAIK to create a new DVD and include the new language packs.

WAIK = Windows Administrator Installation Kit

Install the kit and read the documentation. If you prefer a tool take a look at "Vista Update Integrator":

To use this tool, you must have the WAIK installed!!

I think that the keys are interchangable between all languages except Russian and Chineese. You will have to get the appropriate language DVD.
